A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

Picked up the Nikkor 70-200 zoom f 2.8 ED Vr2.And i must say it lives up to all the hype.Pics are tac sharp fast auto focus.Smooth Smooth.A bit heavy but i;m not complaining.This is my first pro level lens and i;m wondering why i bought the lower end Nikon stuff.Getting rid of all my other lenses and going with the Nikon prime ones.Its a investment but well worth the price..If you;r a Nikon guy you have to get this lens if you can afford it...Cant wait to see what it does with kites.I will soon though Whidbey is rite around the corner..

I bought the 10 years ago version of this guy, it didnt have the vr. but the glass and silent motor sold me despite the 1800$ price tag. the other day the motor started squealing with auto-focus. I sent it in to a auth nikon repair shop. 500$ later i had a new motor, and basically a new lens. Yeah the pro stuff rocks. i figure 2 or 3 lenses(long medium and wide angle) for a hobbyist and you golden.

You're much better off spending your money on a high end lens than you are on a high end body. In other words, you can get much better pictures out of a low end body with a high end lens on it than you can get out of a high end body with a low end lens on it.

You're going to dump the 70-200 zoom then ? Only its NOT a prime you understand ?

Now you need to get the fake press photo credentials from that magazine, forget which one. So you can start makin that TMZ money!

You mean IFPO dont you.I actually was a member for a while till i found out their credientials are crap.Some people swear by them that they get you access to a lot of events.Personally i wont pay them another dime.Stupid mistale on my part.They still send me the magazine though from time to time....
